I receive more requests for deals on noise-cancelling headphones during the holidays than at any other time of year. I'm sure it has nothing to do with blocking out relatives. It's simply because active noise-cancelling headphones can cost a small fortune.

If you're shopping for noise-cancelling headphones and are considering an expensive brand — like Bose — you'll want to first check out today's deal. The new V201 iDeaUSA headphones perform on par with Bose at a third of he price.

Designed right here in the U.S., iDeaUSA have several different models of headphones which I've featured in the past, including Atomik, V204, V206, 204 and several others. The new V201 headphones block 85 percent of ambient noise and offer a whopping 25 hours of battery life.

Compare that to Beats Studio Wireless headphones, which have only 11 hours of battery life at a list price of $379.
